Description of Dubai & Abu Dhabi tailor made holiday

Combining Abu Dhabi and Dubai is a great way to get a fantastic window into life in the UAE through visiting its two most famous cities. On this trip you’ll spend four nights in Dubai followed by two nights in Abu Dhabi to compare and contrast.

Dubai needs no introduction – there’s so much to see and do here that it can be overwhelming. Our tailor made tour can be tweaked to suit your interests and always comes with authenticity at its heart – you’ll be able to peel back the layers and see the Dubai behind the glitz. Spend time in the historic Al Bastakiya district, and traditional markets like the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk. A dhow cruise in Dubai marina completes your tour.

This holiday takes you out of the city too, so you can see how Dubai has risen out of the desert. On Jeep safari you can head out to enjoy traditional Bedouin barbecue and ride a camel on the dunes.

Moving on to Abu Dhabi, you’ll find a calmer city that’s still got amazing sights – take the Emirates Palace hotel, the third most expensive hotel ever built, and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. The Louvre Abu Dhabi further proves that this capital is a cultural capital, too.

End your tour with a stroll on the Corniche and time on the beach at Abu Dhabi – after all, there are plenty of sandy spots to go around.

In our ongoing effort to reduce waste, we provide reusable water bottles to all guests, actively encouraging the reduction of single-use plastics and promoting eco-friendly habits throughout your journey.

Our desert safari experiences strictly follow “Leave No Trace” principles to protect the fragile and unique desert ecosystem. We take great care to ensure that wildlife habitats remain undisturbed and the natural landscapes are preserved.

People

LOCAL ECONOMY

Our tours are designed to celebrate and honor the rich cultural heritage and vibrant communities of the UAE. From the moment you arrive, you engage with the people who make this destination unique. Visiting traditional neighborhoods like Al Bastakiya and the bustling souks offers you a glimpse into the everyday lives and crafts of local artisans and merchants who have sustained these trades for generations. The Dubai Creek abra ride connects you to historic trade routes that shaped the region’s identity.

In the desert safari, you’ll experience the warm hospitality of the Bedouin culture — their storytelling, customs, and traditions provide a living connection to the UAE’s past.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

We are proud to employ local guides, drivers, and support staff—many from underserved communities—ensuring fair pay, professional development, and career opportunities. This strengthens the local economy and creates a more authentic experience for travelers.

By choosing local guides and supporting family-run enterprises, our tours foster economic opportunities and respect for cultural authenticity. This promotes sustainable livelihoods while ensuring that tourism empowers, rather than disrupts, local communities. We are committed to responsible tourism that respects the dignity and heritage of the people you meet on your journey.
